Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a lovely Christmas. It was our first Christmas this year where our parents were married (they got married in October) so it was very special! We have also spent it at home including Boxing Day. We would usually visit family but decided to do things differently this year. It's been super nice staying at home and not having to dress up! We have all worn Christmas jumpers (apart from my Dad, bah, humbug!) which have cleverly covered up our fat bellies full of good food, drink and chocolate.
I thought I would do a little post to show you what my family bought me. I have been absolutely spoilt this year and I am in no way trying to brag. I just personally like reading these types of posts myself and it's always nice to prolong the Christmas blog posts!
My main present was an iPad mini which I had no idea I had got! We always get a main present. I either wanted an iPad mini or a new compact camera and my parents told me we would go out to get either one after Christmas so I honestly had no idea it was sitting wrapped up under the tree! I'm so excited about it as it means I don't have to keep carrying my Macbook around with me for browsing blogs etc. Sooo happy with it!
Below are a selection of some more gifts I got from family. I got Honey by Marc Jacobs last year and it has remained one of my firm favourite perfumes so I was really happy to get another bottle this year. I also got another bottle of One Direction's perfume which I LOVE!
As you can see I got some really lovely gifts this year and I am super happy and grateful for them all! Christmas is always a lovely time of year and as much as receiving gifts is lovely, I do actually enjoy buying gifts for people and watching their faces as they rip open the paper to reveal what's inside. I got my sister personalised nutella this year which was a job in itself queuing in Selfridges for but I eventually got to the front of the queue! I also got her lots of pug related things as she's obsessed with pugs! I also got my mum some massaging slippers and some knitwear from Monki which seemed to go down well!
I hope you have all had an AMAZING Christmas!
You got some really great gifts! I love my iPad and definitely recommend downloading the app Pocket if you haven't already! Hope you have a great new year lovely!

DeleteI want an iPad mini sooooo bad D:
ReplyDeleteIs it 16GB or 32 GB? Not sure which to go for
Haha, I have used it so much already. It's nice to not have to keep turning my Macbook on! I got the 16gb which is the same as my phone and I never seem to need the extra memory so it does me fine! :-) ♥
